Repair Service Built for Philadelphia-Area Homes
The 19444 ZIP code covers Lafayette Hill, a residential section of Whitemarsh Township along Germantown Pike and Ridge Pike, bordering the Andorra and Roxborough edge of Philadelphia. Homes are mostly single-family colonials, split-levels and stone houses on wooded lots, many from the middle of the twentieth century, with newer homes and townhouse communities in places. The mature tree cover that makes the area attractive also means storm outages are a familiar event, and some households keep a portable or standby generator.

Running Appliances on a Generator
A generator can save a freezer full of food during a long outage, but it has to be used carefully. Portable generators produce carbon monoxide and must run outdoors, well away from windows, doors and vents, never in a garage, basement or enclosed porch, even with the door open. A working carbon monoxide alarm inside the house is essential whenever one is in use.
Connecting appliances is the next question. Plugging a refrigerator or freezer into a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord rated for the load is the simple approach. Feeding a generator into the house wiring through a dryer outlet or any other improvised connection is dangerous for you and for utility workers on the lines; that requires a transfer switch or interlock installed by an electrician.
Appliances with electronic controls can be sensitive to rough generator power. Refrigerators, washers and ranges with control boards may behave erratically on an older or undersized unit, and inverter-type generators tend to produce cleaner output. When utility power returns, switch appliances back over one at a time and give the refrigerator several hours to recover. If a control board quits or a compressor will not start afterward, a technician can test it and give you a written estimate.
Scheduling a Lafayette Hill Repair
Tell us whether the appliance was running on generator power before it failed, and for how long. Clear the area around the refrigerator or freezer. Most homes here have driveways, some of them long or steep, so let us know the best spot to park and which door is closest to the kitchen or basement.
